New lease of life for Stapleford soft play centre
A soft play centre that was badly hit by the pandemic has been given a boost with a £4,500 grant from the Stapleford Town Centre Recovery Fund.
Sue Cumberland and business partner Karen Simpson took on the Little Drivers play centre in Plowman Court in May 2020, not realising then how long-lasting the lockdowns would be.
She said: “Initially we thought it would be quite good timing because it would give us a chance to get the work done that we needed, but once we got in there we realised there was an awful lot more needed doing than we originally anticipated. It needed new heating, rewiring, you name it! That combined with the lockdowns meant it was a tough start.

Residents have expressed concerns about an increase in anti-social behaviour and criminal damage in the town, including across the tram network.
